✨ Technical Specifications
The Wolfer Goldgrube, or 'gold mine' of Wolf, is a legendary steep-slope vineyard in the Mosel, characterized by weathered grey slate soils and extremely old, ungrafted Riesling vines. Weingut Vollenweider's Beerenauslese (BA) is an extraordinary sweet nectar produced only in vintages where botrytis develops perfectly. Hand-harvested berry by individual berry, this wine represents the pinnacle of patience and traditional Mosel craftsmanship. The steep amphitheater of the Goldgrube traps warmth, allowing the grapes to reach incredible sugar concentration while retaining the vibrant, mineral-infused acidity that defines the region's finest sweet wines.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1999 by Swiss native Daniel Vollenweider, Weingut Vollenweider is based in Traben-Trarbach in Germany's celebrated Mosel valley. Without family land or inherited infrastructure, Vollenweider dedicated himself to reviving neglected, century-old ungrafted vines clinging to the dramatic, slate-rich amphitheater of the Wolfer Goldgrube. Through meticulous, hands-on cultivation of these extreme steep slopes and traditional, low-intervention cellar work, the estate became a beacon of pure Mosel expression. Today, Weingut Vollenweider is internationally revered for its crystalline, mineral-laden Rieslings, particularly its legendary, highly collectible Auslese and Goldkapsel dessert wines.
